‘I am leaving PDP because of the unending legal battle in Ogun State; this leading to protracted crisis in the party. You will recall that the same legal battle was responsible for the failure of the PDP in Ogun State in year 2011 general elections and the electoral defeat of the party in Year 2015″,he explained.

“It is very clear that if you continue to do the same thing, same way, you can’t get a different result. Moreover, an intractable crisis less than one year to general elections will spell doom for the party. Having decided to leave PDP, I embarked on wide consultations across the country, particularly in Ogun Central Senatorial District on the next line of action’,Ishola added.

“Across the nation, the general opinion of my associates is that a former minister should play politics in a party with national spread. In addition, all politics is local and the opinion of leaders and various political stakeholders in Ogun Central is to join APC’, he stated.
